hi all,

i am working in architecture visualisation and my main professional concern is placing building objects in a presentable environment. the images are done at home with vue7 ple, in the office i am using 7 xStream.

right now i am working on getting my grips on grass.

i have found two ways. one is a "color" material that emulates the look of grass from a distance. the other is populating ecosystem grass.

this pic is the color mat approach.

this is the same with ecosystem

eco system grass

and here a closeup

so how can i improve this?

i find the grass is looking more like grass in "wild" nature than a lawn around a house. i would like to change the colour and the placement (density is @100% but does not look completely covered) of the eco grass (esp the border around the house looks strange). also i am looking for tricks on handling polysize as with this test image its high already.

i am not expecting a single solution for this but am more interested in tips/strategies/tutorials etc. in the right direction so i can get more experience and understanding how to work better with vue.

thanks in advance
